Introduction
A predominately quantitative online survey was launched on Tuesday 22 September and open until Thursday 8 October.
It was promoted through various marketing and communications to maximise consultation engagement and subsequent response rate:
- Portsmouth City Council social media platforms
- Letters were delivered to residents and businesses in the local area (see definitions below)
- Visits to businesses
- Portsmouth City Council email marketing distribution lists
- Two face-to-face engagement sessions
The research sought the views about the proposed temporary cycle routes of three cohorts of respondents, these included:
- Businesses (companies with premises directly on Elm Grove/Kings Road or connecting roads)
- Residents (people that live directly on Elm Grove/Kings Road or connecting roads)
- Visitors (people that travel to/through the area from other areas of Portsmouth or from outside the city)
In total 919 people interacted with the survey.
